ABSTRACT
Posthumous reproduction became possible with the technologies of sperm cryopreservation and ART. The legal and social status of children born as a result of these technologies continue to evolve. The proper disposition of unwanted stored gametes and embryos remains unknown. Physicians are increasingly asked to make quick judgments on posthumous gamete retrieval. The procedures for gamete harvest are technically simple; however, one must carefully select cases with definitive prior intent to have children. There is a need for standardized legal protocols to protect the physician and the patient. The physician must use sound judgment and comply with accepted standards, when present, before performing any service for posthumous sperm retrieval and reproduction.
